Unlike standalone AR headsets, the Infinity connects to a smartphone or Windows laptop via USB-C, leveraging the host device's processing power while providing a hands-free display and voice interface. Approximately 100 organizations signed up to pilot the device by early 2019.<ref name="kopin">{{cite web|url=https://www.kopin.com/press-releases/kopins-golden-i-infinity-wearable-gains-momentum-approximately-100-organizations-have-already-signed-up-to-pilot-the-unique-smart-glass-platform/|title=Kopin's Golden-i Infinity Wearable Gains Momentum|publisher=Kopin Corporation}}</ref>
